Seventh Hacking

[evers_hacker]

[Anybody who walks into the park will stumble across a rather odd sight. There's a dog running around the park chasing leaves, bugs, small animals and maybe the occasional drone child and he will be tripping over himself in excitement as he does so. And the dog happens to be completely made out of electricity. His owner is watching from her seat

[So. Casimiro has chosen this day to practice his kick (since relatively little kept him occupied in this town) when his ball is intercepted by an electric mutt. Torn between anger and confusion, he just stares at it. And then said mutt runs at his leg.]

Aurgh-! Get off!

[evers_hacker]

[Well, if he's gonna have that sort of attitude, the dog will steal his ball. He wants to play, Casimiro~.

His owner doesn't know whether to laugh, apologize for her dogs derp-ness or do both.]

[bethebetterman]

[Arrrgh, his bias against members of the canine family was justified in instances like these. And he chases the strange thing across the field.]

I'm not above kicking you, mutt!

[evars_hacker]

[You want to try kicking something that can instantly become un-solid whenever it wishes? Good luck with that! The dog is just gonna keep leaping around the field, looking pretty damn smug.

His owner has her face in her hands and is trying so hard not to laugh.]

[bethebetterman]

[Yeah, well violence is the only outlet for his aggression. Doesn't have to be logical. So he catches up with it aaand kicks it. Except. It passes right on through and. L-launches his soccer ball far away.

...

And he stares at the mutt.]

Fuckin' dogs.

[evars_hacker]

[And you know what the dog does? He sits right in front of Casimiro and actually pouts. Why must you ruin his fun?

The owner has given up trying to hide it and has now burst out laughing, face still in hands.]

[bethebetterman]

Oh yeah great loss for you.

[Why is he talking to a dog-

Suddenly cognizant of the human laughing in his direction, he whips around.]

What?

[evers_hacker]

[April, human? Lol. But anyway, when he whips around April shakes her head, still chuckling a bit. Hope you weren't expecting fear or anything similar, cuz you aren't getting it from her.]

Nothing! [She glances at the dog and he darts of in the direction the ball flew in. He returns a few seconds later and dumps it at Casimiro's feet, again looking pretty smug for a dog made out of electricity.]

[bethebetterman]

[Well. Close enough. Anyhoo, slightly deterred by the lack of reaction, he calms down.]

Well if that thing's yours you owe me a-

[Oh and what's that at his feet?]

... Ball.

[Rage dwindling.]

[evars_hacker]

[The dog nudges the ball closer towards Casimiro with his paw while April just watches with a smile.]

Yep, he's mine!

[bethebetterman]

[He stares hard at the ball as if it were the very source of his misfortune, and kneels down to... pet the dog? Or attempt to, if it is at all pet-able.]

Should put a leash on it or somethin'.

[evers_hacker]

[He is pet-able; despite being made out of electricity, all Casimiro will feel is a tingly and buzzy sensation. And the dog is now wagging his tail.]

You saw what happened when you kicked him, you really think he'd let me put a leash on him? [The dog gives a static-ish bark in agreement.]

[bethebetterman]

[Haw. Weird. He stands up again, hands in his pockets.]

Well I think I avoided bringing up the "elephant in the room" long enough. So what the hell is it?

[evers_hacker]

[The dog is now going to bat the ball between it's paws, since he's bored.]

He's, um, a dog made out of electricity.

[bethebetterman]

[Aw hell was she some kind of magic user like that worthless paranormal detective? But. Maybe an electric pet was kind of cool.]

Huh. You make it? Or is this all the rage in technology these days, 'fraid I'm a little outta touch.

[evers_hacker]

[There's nothing paranormal about her abilities~.]

Nah, I made him! [Her creation is now nudging the ball around, although still keeping sorta near Casimiro, so that he doesn't rage again.]
